I love Beast Wars Terrorsaur, but he and most of those early BW Basics are closer to one steps/activators than Scouts. They have simplified transformations and lack the complexity of the later Beast Wars Basics, especially the Beast machines basics. So, to make things easy and make room for other lists later, I figured I would just stick with the Scout and current Legends Class for now and deal with Basics in another list. Dont know if I will seperate BM from BW, should I ?

I also second the people saying CW Bombshell deserved to be on the list. He's just a marvel. I like CW Powerglide as well, but Bombshell's the member of the wave that really blew me away.
And for anyone who hasn't gotten their hands on Titan Masters Wheelie yet, believe me when I say he's in contention. His deco is awesome, his transformation is interesting and fun, and he looks good in both modes.

Same here. For some dumb reason, Canada actually has a street date for TR figures and Wheelie is only coming out in august. So I wont get him till then,but he does look awesome. He will probably appear in a top 5 titans return figure list one day, who knows
And about Swerve, he has a real deal breaker for me: no thigh swivel. Sure, lots of awesome older toys don't have it, but they usually sport a playability aspect or timely aesthetic that makes up for it or excuses it. Legends Swerve is a modern update who's main playability is that he is a poseable transforming action figure. But he doesnt pose well and its dissapointing. My first instinct when holding and posing a modern TF figure is giving them a wide and dynamic stance and that is unachievable with Swerve. I mean, for crying out loud, Energon Divebomb who is over 10 years older has 11 points of articulation while Gen Swerve only has 9 (Generations Shockwave has 13 and the activator seekers from animated have 15!).
